    Hi all

    Quick question, not really noticed before but is it right that the CPU and GPU fan are running at the same speed even if the temps are 39c on gpu it spins up to 4000 (same as CPU fan) though the CPU is 60c.

    Cheers

    Craig

    Hey Craig

    I just purchased my notebook and discovered in the BIOS settings a place where I can either have my fans' speed set to auto or full on (not an available option on my old notebook). However if you have had the system for a while and this just started, probably not the issue.
